LOUIS SAARBAOII, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.

IIVIPROVED TOBACCO-PIPE.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 46,269, dated February7, 1865.

T0 all whom t may concern: c,

Be it known that I, LOUIs SAAEBAOH, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, haveinvented an Improvement in Tobacco-Pipes; and I do hereby declare thefollowing to be a full, clear, and exact description ofthe same,reference being had to the accompanying drawing, and to the letters ofreference marked thereon.

My invention consists of a curved tube, in combination with the stem andbowl of a tobacco-pipe, and with a detachable reservoir, so that thefluids from the mouth and the oil from the bowl may be collected in thereser- Voir and not interfere with the free passage of the smoke throughthe tube, and so that when the latter has to be cleansed it may bereadily detached from the bowl and stem.

In order to enable others to make and use my invention, I will nowproceed to describe its construction and operation.

On reference to the accompanying drawing, which forms a part of thisspecieation, the figure represents a side view, partly in section, of myimproved tobacco-pipe.

A is a curved tube, which is largest at the ends, one Of the latterbeing adapted for the recept-ion of the end of the Ordinary stem, B, andthe other for the reception of a hollow projection, w, on the under sideof the bowl C. From the center of the pipe A projects a hollow stud, ce,on the outside of which are threads corresponding to those in an openingof a hollow sphere or reservoir, D.

Many of the tobacco-pipesA now in use have,

detachable reservoirs for the reception of the fluids of the, mouth oroil from the tobacco,

the said reservoir being placed either in the stem or directly below thebowl of the pipe;

but these are objectionable, as the passage through which the oil or uidflows cannot be cleansed, and consequently in a shorttime becomes sofoul that the pipe is unfit for use.

It will be seen that in the pipe above described both the fluids fromthe mouth and the oil from the tobacco iiow directly into the curvedtube A, and are conveyed along the latter to the reservoir D, so thatthe passage between the bowl and the stem remains perfectly free, whilethe -reservoir may be detached at any time to remove the contents. It

will also be seen that when the tube A becomes CHARLES E. FOSTER, JOHNWHITE.
